Long line awaits you but the most friendly baristas are here :)
Store 3/5 (aircondition is not enough for so many people waiting)
Staff 5/5
Speed of service 4/5 (just some backlogs on the cashier - technical/machine errors i think)

Just a lil deviation. Tried this from one of the starbucks' secret menu that I've read over the net. A sip that made me remember my Indian housemates and their cooking back when I was still studying. I like some of the Indian foods but as a tea with Indian herbs and spices? Dirty hippy isn't for me. I thought I would like it. However I'm glad I tried it.

Traffic was really bad on Saturday as we head back to Manila from fetching the little girl in Tarlac. Since it was her school break, she requested to have a vacation in my home town. She was so brave and independent and did not even look for me for the entire week!

To take a break from the heavy traffic caused by multiple vehicular collision, we decided to stop by my favorite gas station along NLEX Southbound - Petron. Since it was the first day for the Starbucks Red Cup and Planner tradition, I was as giddy as a child to get one of those cards with a free sticker! Yay! 300 cards in each branch, no more no less!

So glad Toffee Nut is back! I got their grande Toffee Nut Latte and added a slice of Oreo Cheesecake as requested by the jolly little girl! Then I wanted a Double Chocolate Biscotti but was told that it was not available. Not sure why but I've already checked with a couple of stores and have been told that there have been no delivery yet. Is it gone forever Dell C? Hmmmm...

The place was packed and it was warm inside. Even before taking a sip of my latte, the temp was warm already. The line at the counter was long as well. Travelers hurrying up to grab their coffee.

In any case, I'm still so glad that this season has kicked off already! I love the Jingle Bell Rock season! Whiw!

I'm reviewing the branch with the drive thru and i don't know if its this one. Basta the one in Petron Service Station, NLEX.

Anyway, love that their Starbucks got bigger and separated from the other restaurants. The shop has the brand new interior design and its really looking good in the morning - not too crowded (well its in Nlex), filled with few professional looking people.

I ordered the plain Chocolate Frapp and the guy punched Chocolate Cream Chip, since his really nice and ma-chika i just said sige ok na yan. It was good of course, what could go wrong with their frappuccinos. I also tried thier glazed donut, though it was too sweet, i can taste that it was fried, i think i refer Krispy Kreme's version. Anyway it was huge dor 45 or 55 bucks, not bad.

PS: The things you sometimes do for looloo (and IG ) - set the food in the table for picture taking but ate it outside naman. Kebs sa mga tumitingin sa paligid.
